Can Anyone Answer My Question About Bulimia? Please

I have to say that in my case that is true, however it has gotten alot better now. In the beginning I would eat only small amounts and then get sick but I think the more you do it the more you are able to stomach more food because you know it will not stay so its kind of like you go for it full blown food fest. I have heard some stories about the different binges that people have gone on and really I think once you want that food there is nothing or no one that will stop you. Don't try to fight the urge to binge because it will just make it so much worse and you will end up binging twice as much later on. Instead before you go on a binge write down how you are feeling and what you are thinking about, then go on your binge and puck if you need to but afterwards write down again how you are feeling and what you are thinking. The reason I am not telling you to binge is because its only over time with proffessional help that the behaviour will stop but perhaps until that time comes you could begin yourself. Watch out for how you feel and think before a binge and then after it. See if you can deal with those thoughts and feelings in a different way other then using a binge. You might feel like you are out of control or that your day is not going well, then think how can you change it for the better without going straight for food. After all. Food usually ends up making you feel worse although little amounts often is good.
You know I want you to get help but you have already explained that to me so thats why I want to help you help yourself in the meantime. You are very intelligent and very strong, use those strenghts to help you ok.
I am here anytime for you, I hope you are well, take care of yourself

My binges get progressively worse;

eating normal amounts of food, then I feel bad...Then I throw it up nad move on, fine. Then, I do it again. Then I binge food, throw it up. Then I get to the state I know i'm gunna do it again, thats when I binge on so much food and junk, just knowing i'm gunna purge it all, I can't stop myself eating then I throw up.

I feel bad before, during eating I feel guilty and after I feel guilty followed by saddness then when my sickness goes away I feel better.

Best thing to do is to get speaking to your g.P

Jenny is right. Do not try to stop a binge or it wil get worse. Im my case. I used to vomit after intake about 700-1000 calories aobut 1 time a week. Now im aat aobut 4-5 times aweek after a 2000 calorie binge. I believe that it was becuase I tried to hold out more and starve myself more. After an episode I would feel guilty and try to make up for it by not eating the next day, then cravings would it and I would start eating a little and think "its just about 100-200 calories it wont hurt" then I would eat more and more and thinke "its not that much I just wont eat the rest of the day" this continues unitl I realize that I had eaten more than I had planned and I would be like "screw it" and then the binge came. Do not try to stop a bigne do not try to starve yourself. If you binge one day, do not try to make up for it the nxt by not eating. It will only make the next binge worse and occur faster.

So how do you stop bingeing...

You gotta stop it and have the willpower not to do it again?
Am I wrong?

From my own experience the bulimia did get worse & worse until I went in to treatment. First I only threw up sometimes but before I knew it I did it every day. I think part of it is your body gets all starved of nutrients so it keeps craving food. But if you never let it keep the food then it keeps craving. It's a horrible vicious cycle.
You can stop, with help. It's really hard but it's possible. I haven't binged or purged in years & I don't miss it. The key is to get help, because at first it's like stopping a drug & you go through withdrawal. You feel bad because you;re not used to feeling full & you're afraid you'll blow up like a big balloon.

That doesn't happen, so don't worry. If you get back to eating & keeping down normal meals, your body will adjust. Continuing to screw up your metabolism & appetite with binging & purging is what will make you gain weight in the long run. So please get help! It's worth the struggle to get well.

Well in my health class last year I rember watching a video about bulimia and something they said was that when you are bulimic it takes longer to digest your food like it doesn't digest as fast as someone with out a eatting disorder so it takes more time till you acctually feel full so that could be true I am pretty sure that is something that they said
